Groups are displayed by type in the order shown in the above table. Within each group type groups are sorted alphabetically.  

·The second fixed dark gray row contains statistics. The third column shows maximum number of groups that any account is a member of - "51" in the above picture means that there actually is one account that is member of 51 groups. The rest of the columns on this row shows, under each group name, number of group members in each group - the group "distglobal" has 31 members.  
·Each light gray/white row in the table represents one user account and contains the following information:  

Column
Content
1
Container path to the accounts
2
Account names (CN)
3
Number of groups that each account is member of
4-xx
Groups that each account is member of - in each group column - a group name if the account is member of a group and nothing if the account is not member of a group

The primary group for each account is indicated with "[P]" after the group name in the table - in the above picture "Domain Users" is primary group for all visible accounts.
 
 
Accounts are shown alphabetically by OU. Within each OU accounts are sorted alphabetically.
